"We have trust issues." Mylar

I don't know. I think if I were Julia, I'd be really upset seeing that Bonnie made F2 (with what we've seen of her). Honestly, I'm not rooting for anyone on HK. I guess I'll root for Bonnie because Rock has shown himself to be kind of an ass, but really Bonnie and her palate are very second choice.

Can't wait for Kitchen Nightmares. I was watching the episode over the weekend with the mom and the two daughters in the Footballers Wives (on second thought, I think it was Hollyoaks) town. So sad. That oldest daughter was a piece of work. It was a lovely thing watching Gordon have her for breakfast.

Wasn't it?

I learned a new term, "WAGS" for Wives and Girlfriends of footballers. (Those were the wives and girlfriends of real footballers not tv footballers.)

Eric Ripert was on No Reservations!

It was all about New York and the second half (which is what I saw) was all about places that chefs eat.

Also, wasn't she eliminated 2-3 days ago? I know that, when I've come close to big things and had them vanish, it takes me a bit of time to rebound.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Man, I cannot stand Bonnie and I still can't forgive how terribly she treated Julia and talked smack about Julia's cooking experience. So I'm rooting for Rock by default.

Momofuku Noodle Bar!

Man, I really want to see that ep. Do you know if/when it repeats?

Not according to my DVR listings. I was trying to find it last night (I must have looked too late - was it on at 9pm or 10?) but there was not show listed.

They repeated last week's episode this week -- but that would have shown up on DVR, wouldn't it?

Punishingly Intricate

Can't wait for Kitchen Nightmares.

With my new BBCAmerica-havin' television system I caught part of an episode of the UK version the other day. As I suspected I don't think I can watch it! Failing restaurant is just too sad for me.

I finally saw HK last night after following along here but not catching any episodes. Bonnie was just too high-pitched annoying to root for. And Rock? eh. Neither of their menus sounded interesting to me at all.

I'm just wanting to see if the spoiler I read was true. Julia was my contestant.
